The day after he failed the audition, he goes to a reservoir fishing spot to film a YouTube video, where he meets the director who failed him and actress Hee-jin who has already been cast as the lead in Canary. Director Nam has come down to the fishing spot to clear his head due to a casting conflict with the production company. Ho-joon wants to be the fish that gets caught by him.
